Sura Movie Review - As bad as it can get...

By Siddhartha
A typical masala fare which has all gone wrong is the verdict on Vijay's 50th film "Sura". The movie is 3 hours long and to compliment it the story and screenplay is boring and the acting from the lead actors to be honest is nothing more than ordinary. Vijay's movie normally has the reputation of catering to his huge fan-base but this "Sura" looks like it has even disappointed his die-hard fans. A landmark film of his career the actor should have been more cautious before giving the green signal as his previous films in "kuruvi", "Villu" & "Vettaikaran" did not yield the desired box-office results.

The story in Sura is nothing new but the same old dusted larger than life good wins over evil formula. Sura (Vijay) is a fisherman who loves his people in the hamlet in which he lives in and Samuthrarajan (Debutant Devgill) is a minister who is also a smuggler and is keen to grab the land from the fisher folk. Samuthrarajan in his attempt fails miserably and as expected Sura come to know of the evil intentions of the minister and wages a battle in which as usual the good wins and evil fails miserably.

Poornima (Tamannah) walks in to romance Sura and after a few scenes in the beginning disappears completely only to re-surface again in the songs. Vadivelu as Umbrella is in the film to provide the comedy track but to be honest he is found wanting in many sequences. Radha Ravi and Yuvarani play minor supporting roles in this dull movie.

In terms of acting Vijay falters badly but the bigger disappointment happens to be Devgill who gives a strong feeling that he has watched a lot of Ashish Vidyarthi for inspiration and has copied his style and to an extent even the make-up. Tamannah has started to step up the steam in glamorous outfits which is the only consolation for those who were let down badly by the makers.

Music is a disappointment while the editing which needed to be more sharp ends up being a spoiler and thereby letting down the fortunes of the movie. Sun Pictures after a subdued outing in "Vettaikaran" have burnt their fingers with "Sura". Director S P Rajkumar should understand that good films are made only by thinking differently and not from borrowing ideas out of various hit movies.

"Sura" leaves you frustrated in the end.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
